Re: Limiting the bass

>> Put a 200uf bypass on your cathode resistor for the KT66.

I have yet to hear a 200uFd cap sound
better than totally horrendous.

Why ?
At 200Hz the OPT inductance is out of the picture.
At 200Hz the OPT capacitance isn't an issue.
So what reactance are you saying interacts with
the 2.7uFd cap that would give a slow slope?
Not the power supply cap or the tube,
so what else is there?

It's a moot point now anyway as
it's starting to sound better already.
Not as shrill more body.
